Update Page

By billn on May 04, 2006 #site updates

This update page is now just-about up-to-scratch. Forward to the database for tasting notes (and more!) which is already running on a test-server – scary!
Cheers, Bill

Phase 1 Success.

By billn on April 30, 2006 #site updates

I’m sat in a lounge at the airport, and if you’re reading this, then the server-switch was a success – everything seems okay.

Perhaps not a very challenging phase 1 then! Phase two is the database development, phase 3 is the implementation. I’ll get a few friends to roadtest (crash?) phase 3 as soon as it’s up and running – I’m thinking May…

Now just 12 hours on a plane to Zürich to get through; it was Harry Potter and the goblet of fire on the way out, I wonder what civilisation advancing entertainment I’ll get on the return. 😉

New Reference Pages – Burgundy’s Grapes

By billn on April 22, 2006 #site updates

The page on Burgundy’s grape varieties is finally up here – it was a busy week, so quite slow progress.

Had a meeting with the developers for my tasting-note finder – sounds easy – I just need a new web-host, to develop something in .NET and update it with microsoft access. All very easy apparently…

Now I go to China for 9 days hoping that nothing breaks down in the meantime!
Cheers

Feeds links

By billn on April 13, 2006 #site updates

Finally got the feed links sorted out (I think!) – they weren’t working before as they should. It’s possible to see the updates via ‘feedburner’ or by-far the easiest route – but only if you use Firefox – is by clicking the feed icon which appears on the browser’s address-line (when you view the Burgundy-Report homepage. This adds a link to the bookmarks that shows if the site has been updated – very elegant and easy.

Must get back to writing about Burgundy’s 8 allowed grape varieties!
Cheers

New Reference Pages – Segmenting the Region

By billn on April 12, 2006 #site updates

New page that segments by region the areas that together are called burgundy. Also updated (mainly style-wise) are the following:
Wine Making
A-Z of Appellations
The Map Resource
Weights & Measures
Profiled Producers
That’s enough for today!
Cheers

New Reference Pages – History

By billn on April 12, 2006 #site updates

The history page is up and running – more of an almanac really.
Am at the same time working on the databse info for the ‘Note Finder’ which should find a lot more than notes!
Cheers, Bill

New Reference Pages – Introduction

By billn on April 12, 2006 #site updates

8th April 2006. A short introduction with a few nice remarks from Neal Martin that I will probably expand at my (occasional) leisure.
Cheers

A New Reference

By billn on April 12, 2006 #site updates

4th April 2006. I noted a problem with the mac browser that my older pages did not display correctly – seemingly not a problem with the index pages, or content pages from the ‘reports’ – but basically all the reference pages were implicated. So this is where I’m starting.

The new main reference page is updated in the new index style. Content to follow.
Cheers

Site Stats Q1 2006

By billn on April 01, 2006 #site updates

Still haven’t managed 500 unique visitors in a day, but it’s getting closer – 463. It seems that readers are tasting-note junkies – these pages continue to draw that largest crowds, de Vogue continues it’s run as the most directly referred to page, whereas the equally ‘hard-work’ Hospices de Beaune feature has sunk without trace – maybe I should think again about doing something on the Hospice de Nuits!

Included for the first time a note on the index page to the most interesting three wines of the previous months

Cheers, Bill
